Polaris is recalling approximately 2,200 Model Year 2023 PATRIOT 9R MATRYX PRO RMK and PATRIOT 9R MATRYX RMK KHAOS snowmobiles because the drive clutch can fail and break apart. The company has received 91 reports of clutch failure, including nine reports where components separated from the unit and flew off the vehicle. These snowmobiles were sold at authorized Polaris dealers nationwide between January 2022 and April 2023 for between $18,500 and $19,900. Consumers should immediately stop using the vehicles and contact a dealer for a free repair that includes a new clutch and a guard kit.
The primary drive clutch can fail during operation, causing internal clutch components to come loose or separate entirely from the vehicle. If these components separate while the engine is running, they can strike the rider or bystanders, posing a serious injury hazard.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled snowmobiles and contact Polaris or an authorized Polaris dealer to schedule a free repair to replace the primary (drive) clutch, install a clutch guard kit and receive an owner's manual addendum. Polaris is notifying all dealers and registered owners directly.
